Product description
:
Alocasia is a plant native to tropical forests. The natural habitat of alokasia is the Philippines, Ceylon, Malaysia. The plant belongs to the family of Araceae.
In the wild, there are more than fifty species of alocasia that differ from each other in plant height, as well as in the shape and color of the leaves. However, all types of alocasia are united by common features – the presence of a tuberous root system and thyroid leaves, pointed to the end of the form with pronounced veins. It is because of the original shape of the leaves that the plant is often called "elephant ear" by the people. Alokasia leaves are also interesting because they help the plant to remove excess moisture during prolonged tropical rains through special water stomata. Home alokazias are also able to remove excess water with the help of leaves with excessive watering and high humidity.
Flowering plants both in the wild and in artificial cultivation is quite rare. The flowers of alokasia are small, white or pale pink, collected in the cob. Since the flowers of alokasia do not represent any aesthetic value, it is recommended to remove them so that the growth of the leaves of the plant does not slow down.
When working with the plant, remember that the juice of alokasia is poisonous and can cause itching and redness when it gets on the mucous membranes or skin! Due to the rather large size, not all types of alocasia can be grown at home.
Alocasia Black Velvet (Alocasia Black Velvet) is a low plant, reaching no more than 25 centimeters in height. The leaves are large (about 30 cm in length) oval in shape, the leaf surface is velvety to the touch, dark green in color with a light pattern of veins. Quite often blooms at home, the peduncle in the form of a white-pink cob.
Instructions for planting and care:
To grow elephant ears, you will need seeds, well-drained soil and peat moss, small pots or trays and a bottle for fogging. Then follow these instructions:
Fill small pots or trays with moist, well-drained soil and peat moss.
Pour the seeds onto the soil and cover them lightly.
Spray the soil while keeping it moist.
Be patient. Germination can take up to three months.
As soon as there are signs of germination, move the seedlings to a place that receives bright indirect lighting.
Keep the plants in an area with high humidity and bright lighting, replanting them as they grow.
Alokasia is a very unpretentious plant. Since the homeland of alocasia is warm and humid tropical forests, then at home the plant needs to provide a fairly high air temperature (about 20-25 ° C in summer, 18 ° C in winter) and regular, sufficient watering. It is necessary to water the plant especially often in the hot summer months, preventing the drying of the earthen coma. In winter, watering should be significantly reduced. Alokasia is very fond of high humidity. To achieve the necessary humidity at home, periodic spraying of the plant and placing a bowl with alchemy in a tray with wet pebbles or expanded clay helps.
It is necessary to fertilize alocasia only in the spring and summer months, the frequency of fertilization is once or twice a month. Complex mineral fertilizers are well suited for fertilizing the plant. It is necessary to transplant a young plant annually, an adult – once every two years. The soil for transplantation should be slightly acidic (pH — 5.5) and nutritious. The composition of the soil suitable for alchemy is one part of peat, leaf and coniferous earth, half a part of sand, a little sphagnum can be added to the soil.
